1. You have to have lived the last two decades of Carolina football to fully appreciate what Mack Brown and his 2019 Tar Heels just did. Facing 20 years of season opening futility (Carolina hadn't won a season opener against a Power Five opponent since Indiana in 1997) and behind a fan base thirsty for any reason at all to believe in Tar Heel football, Carolina stared down a 13-6 halftime deficit and beat a vaunted SEC opponent, South Carolina, in the 2019 opener in Charlotte. It's a very long season. But watching Mack Brown's eyes mist up as he talked about the emotions of this win, it was hard not to feel like things have changed for Carolina football.
